Yes, but actually, you are not seeing a publishing project to it's fullest, or
even it's nearest, ending.

I agree, however, knowledge of the material vs. the perceptual
translation/updating of that/those material(s) to SR3 levels would remain a
basis for group debating. Personally, I think I know the SR game very well,
but my interpretations of those rules do not match those of everyone else on
the list (let alone the players beyond it). And I'm pretty certain that my
viewpoints and perceptions/translations of those rules are not the equal of
your own, let alone someone like Steve K., who knows quite a bit about the SR
game (he's written a great deal of it), but who's personal viewpoints as to
what the material should be perceived as by the end user, is something
entirely different yet again.
